[MlMt] Junk folder gets messages when Sieve unchecked

[Ralph Alvy]

MM does see the Spam folder created by Fastmail as of Type Junk, so I can just delete that Junk folder. Right?

Then, on the MlMt side, you see this move occur in the Spam folder and because you also have a local Junk folder - also mapped as Junk - it will mirror whatever is going on in the local-Spam folder. And actually what happens in local-Junk should be mirrored in the local-Spam folder.
